- inet-handler AmiTCP/IP User Manual inet-handler
-
- NAME
- inet-handler -- An easy and useful access to internet.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Mount TCP: from AmiTCP:devs/inet-mountlist
-
- USAGE
- Usually the mounting shown above is done automatically at
- AmiTCP/IP startup. After this Internet can be accessed by
- openign TCP: device from shell commands or another programs.
-
- Filename path after TCP: is used as command line arguments
- after all slashes '/' are changed to spaces. The command
- template is as follows...
-
- H=HOST,P=PORT,S=SERVICE/K,O=OBTAIN/K
-
- If host and port is given, system tries to connect the requested
- destination. Service is synonym to port -- and therefore cannot
- be used together. If only port is given handler binds to this
- port and leaves file unopened until someone connects to it...
- i.e acts as a server. if OBTAIN is given, handler tries to get
- already opened socket with the id provided (usually used with
- inetd). OBTAIN cannot be used together with anything else.
-
- Normally when there is more than one item in template that does
- not require a keyword the first keywordless argument goes to
- first template item introduced an so on. However since with
- this handler, port can be given alone, but host not, the only
- keywordless argument goes to port if port not already given
- with keyword. This makes handler usage easier for humans.
-
- EXAMPLES
- Open 2 shell windows. Enter `type TCP:127' on one of the shells.
- Enter `copy * TCP:localhost/127' on another. Now you can write
- some words on second window and those appear on first as you press
- RETURN. This idea can be used th have 2-Way chat with your friend.
-
- Use the 2 shell windows you have opened. Enter `newshell tcp:16333'
- on one and try `letnet localhost 16333' on another. You should see
- the starting shell info and command prompt appear in your 'letnet'
- window. Enter `endcli' and you get back where you started from.
-
- In the previous example. you can change the 'letnet' to 'telnet'
- from remote host. i.e Log on your Amiga. Currently this is not
- fully supported so you must end every command with ';' since
- NewShell cannot handle the trailing CR that comes with telnet.
-
- Enter `type TCP:your.favorite.remote.host/daytime'.
-
- TCP: can be used wery easy in arexx scripts and also in other
- programming languages. I suggest you use keywords when writing
- code that machine executes.
